AlphaTauri Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo remembers “ducking” in the cockpit to avoid the “frisbeeing” tyre ripped off in the huge first-corner shunt in the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix.

The 71-lap race had to be red-flagged after Nico Hulkenberg and Alex Albon touched on the run to Turn 1, an incident which flicked the Williams across the track to wipe out the second Haas of Kevin Magnussen. In the melee, Albon's rear tyre delaminated and the rubber carcass was collected by Hulkenberg before it was flicked up into the path of Ricciardo. It eventually clipped the rear wing of his AT04. Asked by Motorsport.

Asked whether he felt lucky given the near-miss, Ricciardo said any initial relief was soon overpowered by frustration. It was only later that he was 'thankful' to emerge unscathed.
